Rating: 4 Stars
How I Got It: Purchased
I feel like this is common when I read an Abbi Glines
book, but I’m conflicted. She definitely knows how to write an engrossing
story, but I do have some issues. But I keep reading them so she’s doing
something right.
Generally, I liked the characters in here. But I liked
Mase in Harlow’s story so that wasn’t much of a surprise. And it was nice to
see Jimmy again. But Mase was a little bit of a freak-which I mean in the
nicest way possible.
Reese is very easy to like. But in the first few chapters
she was written kind of dumbed down. I understand she has problems, but she
sounded like a ten year old inn those chapters. That did go away so it wasn’t a
hug problem for me.
For the most part I like Mase and Reese as a couple. They
have chemistry. But they also talk a lot which is kind of a breath of fresh air
in the World of New Adult. (Is this even still classified as New Adult?) And
Mase is a very supportive partner.
However, there were some things I found a little
problematic. Because of her past I think Reese is a little naïve so sometimes
she seemed to not have any agency in their relationship. And Mase’s words
sometimes felt too possessive and a little manipulative. Looking at other parts
of his character I don’t think he’s a bad guy, but it still rubs me the wrong
way.
I definitely plan on reading the next book in this series
and it will probably be my next read.
Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault/Abuse
